Chapter Four- New Home
(Len's POV)
"I'm going upstairs…" Rin had now stopped looking at me and had fixed her gaze towards the ground.
She felt so distant from me, she use to tell me everything! I felt my anger begin to swell up inside me, it was unbearable. I couldn't stand it, the strain was suddenly released. Without noticing it, I had punched the nearby wall. When I pulled my hand back, it was sticky with blood. I quickly looked up and Rin was now gone along with Yorokobi.
I felt like I screwed up bad … I can't believe her parents would lie… I hate this. What the heck happened to her! We use to be so close … I don't get it! Of course though! Her parents are the cause of our fight!
After about five minutes had passed, when I cooled down a bit, I started to cook to get my mind off of the situation. I knew Rin would probably be in no mood to eat, but she needed it. I felt rather bad for my pots and pans thought, I'm surprised that they've made it this far from my frequent abuse. I couldn't help but wonder why the hell Rin's parents would lie to her. It freaking pisses me off!
I grabbed the pancake mix from the pantry, snatched the required ingredients from the fridge and got to work.
I mean, like if Yorokobi died, then go ahead and tell Rin that she ran away. Them taking credit for actually getting Yorokobi is her, though, is just plain wrong.
… Then again, if her parents weren't so bad, Rin wouldn't be here right now. She was like my personal birthday present. A pretty good one too …
I felt my face start to get hot… the heat from the stove must really be really getting to me.
Oops. The stove isn't even on.
I turned the stove on and started to mix the ingredients together. When the batter was ready, I poured it into the steaming skillet.
I went over to get a spatula from the drawer when I noticed something.
In the next room the news was still on the television. Something on it caught my eye though.
They were showing a house that had burned to the ground; its ashes staining the pure white snow. It wasn't the reporter that drew my attention, but it was their location.
…
"It's couldn't be."
(Rin's POV)
I laid on top of Len's bed while I conjured up a plan. I had to get rid of this 'Len' kid. Yeah, he's been nice and all, but he creeps me out. Plus, this house is pretty nice so… if I get rid of him it can be all mine. And mineonly. With the exception of Yorokobi.
I can't help it though, I keep thinking about the situation that happened downstairs. Why would he say we got both Yorokobi and his dog at the same time…
It makes no sense…
I sat upright and turned the TV on. It was set to the news. Now that I think about it, so was the one downstairs. The poor kid has no life.
The news was rather boring, but it always was boring to begin with so … The only thing that kept me from changing the channel was their topic.
My house.
It was burnt to the ground and nothing remained, as expected. One of the firemen died in the fire thought. I would feel bad for him, but I warned them and they didn't listen. Serves them right for wasting their time though. Don't get me wrong though, I do pity the family.
I'm not that heartless.
SLAM!
"…Rin,"
I look over to my right and see none other than Len, who is out of breath as if he just ran a marathon.
", Y-your house, Rin! Isn't that your house?!"
Hm… why yes, I would believe that would be my house. Thank you, Captain Obvious!
"RIN! Answer me," Len manages to huff out with the remaining energy he has.
Whoa… wait a sec… he has been stalking me!
"Rin!"
Oh yeah…
"Yes… that is my house." I waved casually at him.
"Why didn't you tell me!?" the now furious Len screeches out.
I shrug, "it didn't seem that important." Pfft, yeah 'important.' Maybe it's 'cause this is the only second time I've ever talked to you.
"NOT IMPORTANT?!"
Len seemed really mad … talk about issues.
The air filled with silence was gradually replaced with a strange smell.
"Um… hate to change the subject, but … what's that smell…?"
Something must have clicked in that thick skull of his, because he had then left the room as quick as he had come.
--
The remainder of the day went smoothly … well not exactly.
It had been before though. Turns out Len's forcing me to live with him until he finds a new home… Or that's what he thinks. I'll chase him out of this house before that happens.
I'm NOT going anywhere.
But whenever he would bring up the house issue, something would interrupt him. That's when it all went wrong.
In the middle of the day when Len was giving me his little 'speech' the doorbell rang. When he answered it, this girl with abnormal long teal hair was on the door step. He seemed to know her, even though she looked a bit older than us. But that's when she brought up the issue that Len's been pestering me with for the past few hours….
